154: The Survival of Stephen Smith

Abraham Shakespeare experienced one of the dreams many of us always hope of but few are really lucky enough to see…he won the lottery. After a spontaneous purchase of a few lotto tickets at a convenience store, Abraham found out later that night that he had chosen the numbers to a 30 million dollar winner. For Abraham this was such a blessing. He didn’t have to struggle anymore. But sadly he had no idea at the time that this blessing would turn into such a curse.  Music by: Jonas Bjornstand Cover Art By: Charnell

This case is a prime example of why we love dogs more than people. Dirk Prinsloo had a reputation for being a sleazy lawyer; making people feel uncomfortable was an understatement of his actions. When he met Cezanne Vesser he did what any narcissistic predator would do, and immediately swooned her in an intense over the top conquest to win her over. But once he got the girl, Dirk had higher expectations for how is partner must look.  Three breast augmentations and one botched nose job later, Cezanne  made quite a shocking transformation to say the least… but Cezanne’s transformation doesn’t just stop at her looks…What this couple ends up doing together will make your stomach turn… brace yourselves.

In November of 2018 Tamla Horsford, a beautiful wife and mother to six, was attending a girls night sleepover at her friends house.  Sadly, her family had no idea that they would never see her again when she left that evening. The next morning would bring a tragedy filled with unanswered questions for many close to Tamla. No one knows what happened that night, other than the ones who were there. But to this day, most everyone can agree, the explanations just don’t quite make sense.
